Martial , Law was proclaimed here the day before .yester day, and Lieutenant-Colonel Purdon, the Commanding Officer, and other officers of the Royal African Corps, with the European troops and the Native forces, are gone to Accra, the former to strengthen that garrison, and the latter to join their respective divisions. lam sorry to inform you that Mr. Hontson, the person who joined the mission tin der Captain Clapperton, died at Benin soon after his re turn. He conducted him to the Niger, or near it, and there left him in good health and excellent spirits, and intended prosecuting his journey in two or three days from the 4th of March, being then at Katungo, in the Eyo dominions. Since writing the above, we have received the fol lowing Proclamation, which confirms the hostile intentions of the Ashantees, who it will be seen, were within one day's march of Accra, so that we may shortly expect to hear of some important events from that quarter, as our forces were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to repel the agressors : PROCLAMATION By Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Purdon, of the Royal African Corps, administering the Government of his Majesty's Settle ments on the Western Coast of Africa, Commanding his jesty's Troops, &c. &e. &c. Whereas certain information having been received from many neighbouring Chiefs in alliance with Great Britain, that the King of Ashantee'has organised a strong force to act hostilely against the Brititish territories and those of our Allies, .and is now within three days' tiiarCh of Accra, and supposed to meditate an attack upon that place, and subiequently the rest of the forts and settle ments on the Gold Coast; and as positive confirmation of the above, the King, or person having in different skirmishes abso lutely engaged our Ally, the Queen of Ackirn, and, from a prepon derating force, compelled her to retire from her own country to a village in the Aquapitn country, called Manipong, within one day's march of Accra. Nov; therefore know ye, that by virtue of an appointment to administer the Government of the forts and settlements on the Gold Coast, and in pursuance of the authority vested in me by the same, to levy, arm, muster, command and employ all persons Whatsoever, residing within the said Settlements and Territories depending thereon, and as occasion should demand, to march them from one place to another, or to embark them for the resisting and withstanding of all enemies, and if there should be occa sion to pursue and prosecute, in or out of the limits of the said Colony, and to execute Martial Law in time of Invasion, War, or other times, when by law it may be executed, and to do and execute all and every other thing and things which to the Captain General and Governor-in-Chief of the said Colony did or of right should belong ; I hereby order anti command all his Majesty's subjects, - and those of his allies, to arm themselves in readiness to be laced at the disposal and under the orders of such Officers as may be duly • appointed to command them, and if occasion requires to march, and to concentrate for the purpose of opposing the said Ashantee army or any other enemies. Given at the Government Hall, Cape Coast Castle, this sixth day of Juste, one thousand eight hun dred and twenty-six, and of his Majesty's reign the seventh. By command, W. WILLIAMS, Atiting Colonial Secretary. Cod Save the King. It is . no wonder that the administration of the law in this country becomes more and more the ridicule of the rogue and the lamentation of injured honesty, for that justice is to be bought and sold by the practice of Our Courts, is as clear as that the rich man can put off the evil day to the end of time, if his purse can last, while the poor man muat'bend his neck to the yoke in order to save Ins head. Let it not be imagined that in ex posing the corrupt tendency of the practice of our laws we intend to impeach their efficacy, or condemn the liberal principle of their constitution. No : 7 — while our veneration is increased by the contemplation of their free-born influence, we cannot restrain our pity, antl it may be our indignation, that the noblest characteristic of our country should be perverted so as to become a bye-wOrd and a reproach among strangers, wilds it, excites the derision and instinctive reprobation of those who were born to revere its shield ing protection, but who have found from the ex perience of the past that they, have little security from its present administration, and can have no confidence in its guardianship for the future. Law to be useful, ought to be salutary ff -to be just, it ought to be impartial—and to ensure the applause of posterity, it ought to merit the approbation of the present generation—that best of all rewards 7 4he feel ing of conscious rectitude in the honourable discharge of a responsible public duty. The access to justice Ought to be free, cheap, and easy. It is insulting to the good sense of the people to hold up the laws as a remedy for their wrongs, if the price at which justice is to be obtained, be beyond their reach. — It is equally absurd to tell men not to take the law in their own hands, when they are de n ~ ied justi ce b y t h e tr ib una l s o f the country. Every day' s . expenence in our. courts of law sanctions the tru th of these observations ; and what took place yes tterday at the Middl esex S ess i ons g i ves them add i t i ona l force There, a man indicted a person for an assault, and the defendant was convicted with a fine of 6s. 841, hut mark the toor a l seventeen ehilibigx Tpenee r i f le prosecutor had to pay justicetr bringing a person who had assaulted him, to too dear for the whistle, on le k ally this was paying what would be the consequence of as hu'' gthe Chairman refusing to pay unjust demand, demand, this exorbitant, and what appeared to hi l m a he was coolly informed that he must remain there for ever, unless the sumgweree prison, and talk of the impartiality and protection of the a l i a d t w s . t i a r f rr te o r this, were idle—its best praise must be found in prac tice. The Chairman consoled the prosecutor b him that if he had staid at home he would not have t e op mg y the demand—that it was his miffortztne to get a I;e a r - - did, and it would teach him not to come there again • taking up the time of the Court with frivolous com: plaints, The Chairman further told him to giv e as nrch publicity . as possibl e to t h ese c i rcumstances; ' in order that it might deter others from troubling him self and the Court with their wrongs. The whole of this appears so preposter ous , t h at we can scarcely credit it, and yet Mr. C. 1 111Z1.1P6 remarked, that such " was the price of justice i n thi s country l " Legislators may preach up obediencelf so, our to the laws but they cannot insure respect or inspire love for them, if a mart is to be assaulted with imp un i ty , then ' stilted, and even robbed of his property, for prosecuting t he offender ' • And here • to Justice. another question a!ises=---the ' f prosecutor may be so poor, th a t t h e expen ses o conviction may consign hbn to prison .

Ott), cannot be tolerated on any principle of common 6" Or CW II.I IOII justice—and the only wonder is, that men could hold up their heads in the practice of such a ridiculous, vexatious, and oppressive course, without pointing 'out its odious bearing to those who have the power to rectify the abuse. But this only supplies another argument, if any were wanting, in support of the necessity for a complete and honest revision of the statute-book—in order that the Criminal Code may 'be made more consonant to the liberal spirit of our in stitutions, and more worthy of the veneration of the people, by being rendered more agreeable to humanity, and more conformable to common sense, as well as common justice.

This was the second adjourned day of these Sessions. KING V. EWENS AND OTHERS. John Ewens, George Hill, James Hansoomb, and Rohl. Wiblin, were indicted for an assault upon the person of Jas. Hodges King. It appeared that Mr. King went to White cross-street Prison, to see some person there, on the 31st of July last, where he saw Ewins, who was confined there at his suit, for debt. Ewins asked him if he would let him out, provided he would give him'a sovereign. He refused, and immediately afterwards Ewins incited the three other defendants, with other prisoners, to assist him in laying hold of Mr. King, whom they violently assaulted. The .defendants called a number of fellow-prisoners, who only made bad worse. The Jury immediately found the whole four guilty of the asiault. The sentence of the Court was, that Ewins, who ap peared to have been the ringleader, should be confined for three calendar months, Wiblin two, and Hill two, in the and Ilanscorab for one, in iltspur- House of Correction , street Compter. Matthew Ryan and Elizabeth Ryan, alias Cloudsley, were indicted in one count for keeping a house of ill-fame, and in another count for keeping a disorderly house, No. 23, Seacoal-lane, in the parish of St. Sepulchre.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • DOW -ST REET.....(Tnis DAY.) Mr. Grindell, sen., for whose abduction two persons had been brought to this office last'night, as appears in another part of our paper, appeared this day before Sir R. EIRNIE, in purSUUTICC of a- writ of habeas corpus issued by the Lord Chief Justice, of the Court of King's Bench, to have him brought,tip. .On his entering the office, Mr. Beckett, a iNlagistrate, shook him by the hands, and asked him how he did Y Pretty wall, quoth he, considering all things; you and I are acquaintances these 50 or 60 years. Leadbeater, the officer, being sworn, deposed, that he found Mr. Grindell, sen ., on S un d a y , last, at Tunbridge Wells, in the custody of Charles Grindell and Mr. Hunter, who were now present. Mr. Grindell, sen. perceiving his nephew, raised up both his hands, and shook his head several tunes without utter- M 0 .6 a word. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—Pray, Mr. Hunter, by what au thority have you assisted to conduct this gentleman to Tunbridge 'Wells ? Mr. Hunter—By the authority of Mr..phitrles Grindell. Sir RICHARD—Why have you taken him away, Mr. Charles Grindell ? Charles Grindell—l thought that a elaitare of air would dO him good. Sir RICRARD BIRNIE asked Mr. Grinnell, sett, if he Ltd been taken against his will Mr. (Modell, sen.—Certainly, certainly, Sir ; I did not like it at all. Sir RIMARD—Fine treatment, indeed, for a gentleman of his age, to be tossed a b out i n t hi s m a n ner. Charles Grindell—l filve the authority of Dr. Burrows that he is insane, and that he ought not to be left in the custody of a woman, I have sufficient proof to have a commission of lunacy taken out against him in Chancery. Sir RtcHAßD—Still, what authority had you to in terfere. Charles Grindell—As heir-at-law. Sir RICHARD—Heir.ut-law, indeed ! Why, the gentle man can give his property to me, or any other person he pleases._ Grindell, senior—To he sure. ! 1 acquired' all my property myself, in business; I can tiu what 1 please with it. Charles Grindell-111 take care of that; I shall put it in Chancery. Sir Itionaap—Y ou were i nsane yourse lf. Charles Grindell--Never; it is my wife's story ; it is my father that was insane. - Sir R. BIRNZE then asked the old gentleman, on his oath, if he had been taken away against his consent, who replied in the affirmative. Sir Rteumtn—l shall ask you but one question more, sir,—would ru be afraid of your nephew if let at large? Grindell,sen.—l am afraid to be wherever he is. The old gentleman then left the Mice, accompanied by Mrs. Grindell. Sir R. BIANIE told the prisoners that they should give bail to a considerable amount, and give 24 hours' notice thereof. Charles Grindell—We have our bail at hand, and have given the requisite notice,—pray, Sir, to what amount do you require sureties. Sir lticukaD—To a very large amount, some thousands of pounds; but it will depend on the respectability of the parties. Charles Grindell—Mr. Adolphus told us that two sure ties in 2.5 W. each, and ourselves in 500/. would be sufficient.. Sir ktelimtp—What, an heir-at-law to 40 or 50 thou sand pounds to give securities in .5001. only ! Has Mr. Adolphus told you that you were heir-at-law too ? how ever, bring them forward until I' examine them. The sureties not being immediately ready, the prisoners were remanded until the other business was disposed of. MARLYYROUGH-STREET—(Tnis DAY.) SITAMENVI. CificEnitT d A PATROL—Charles Ford, a patrol of St. James's parish, preferred a charge against Mr. Harper, btiteher, No. 2, Church•passage, Piccadilly, for obstructing him in the execution of his duty. Mr. Harper also had made a cross charge against Ford for an assault. Ford stated, that he was on duty at six o'clock yester day evening in Piccadilly, when he observed two women, one of them carrying a basket. He stopped and asked what it contained; they 'replied linen, but he suspecting them, • searched it himself. It was near Harper's house, who came up and interfered to obstruct him, when wit ness took him to the watchouse. Mr. Harper, in reply, stated that he observed crowd round his door, and on going out, perceived Ford turning out the linen from a small basket, and the owners, two very decent-looking women, were crying, and seemed much frightened, while Ford was drunk, and swearing at them. He (Harper) expostulated with him, and Ford told him that if he interfered he would take him to the watch house. Witness said he was unlit to be a patrol, and Ford seized him by the collar and dragged him to the watch house. When there, he hesitat e d in giving c h arge ; b ut witness threatened if he did not he would give charge of him (Ford), which he accordingly did. The night constable and watch-house keeper deposed that Ford was so drunk, that they took his sword and coat from him, and locked him up. The women said that he stopped them, seized the bas ket, and though they told him what it contained, be turned it out, and threatened, if they said a word, to take them to the watch-house. They were going quietly home. Mr. CONANT severely reprimanded Ford, and ordered him to be suspended for seven days, and his conduct to be reported to the Watch Committee. Harper was of course discharged. THAMES POLICE.—(TuIS DAY. ) GRAIN RODDERIES.—As on the previous hearing of this case, the office was again exceedingly crowded. Mr. liar mer appeared for Leftwich, Kellan, and some other of the defendants, and Mr. Humphreys for the prosecution. In consequence of an expectation that this would be a final examination, the friends of the prisoners were some what numerous. Charles Calknan, James Frewer, and Alin Roberts, were then placed at the bar. The evidence against these prisoners, which had been taken' in the private room, and which was a recapitulation of what has already ..appeared in The Sun, was then read over. Mr. BALLANTYNE observed, that as far as regarded these prisoners the evidence might be deemed conclusive, but with respect to the others he was Apprehensive, in conse quence of the continued indisposition of Ryland, brother of one of the prisoners, whose evidence was material, he should be obliged again to adjourn the the e r of th e sto l en gra i n, the final examination.

FASITIONABLE The Duke of York took his usual daily. airing ,yes terday afternoon for about two, hours. Sir : Herbert Taylor, Sir Henry , Torrens, and Sir Willoughby Gor- don, transacted business with his Royal Highness at the residence of the Duke of Rutland in Arlington street. The usual medical attendantsvisited the Royal Duke in the course of the day. The Duke of Clarence set out from Brussels on the morning of the 30th ult. for London. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of the Ne therlands, and his Consort arrived at Berlin on the 22d ult. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office yes , terday, from Mr. Secretary Canning. A meeting took place on Saturday ,morning be tween Mr. P—g—t and Mr. C—z—n, on Wimble don-common, owing to a dispute the preceding even ing at the Haymarket theatre, respecting a favourite actress. The parties fired, and Mr. P—g—t was slightly wounded in the arm. The caveat entered against the proof of the will of the late Mr. Far q uhar is, we understand, withdrawn, and letters of administration will be granted to Mr. Fraser, one of the nephews of the deceased, in No vember. The tax upon the probate, in the first in stance, will amount- to upwards of 13,0001.; and, eventually, the whole duty to be paid to Government under the administration will be between 40,0001, and .50,0001. A young lady, named Shiel, was committed to Monaghan gaol on Tuesday, charged with the murder of Wiggins, in Clones fair.—Dublin Patriot. COVENT-GARDEN 'THEATRE. The Tragedy of Julius actor was performed at this Theatre, for the first time, last night, to a crowded audience. The characters throughout were strongly cut, comprising Young. as Brutus, throug hout as Cassius, and C. Kemble as Mark Anthony; the last of whom, in particular, made the eloquent but factious citizen one of the chief at tractions of the evening. Of Mr. Young's Brutus it is superfluous to say much, the public have already decided in its favour, and given its representative, credit for " a faultless carriage,' splendid declamation, and sustained dignity of action. Beyond these Mr. Young has few claims to attention, he is cold and monotonous, in recita tion, evidently fettered by the conventional prejudices of the school to which he belongs ; spiritless when he should be impassioned (as in Macbeth), and think ing too much of personal dignity (us in lago), .when he " should go out of himself "—as it were, and look the easy good humoured villain of Shakespeare. But in Brutes, the cold monotony of which we complain, is in good keeping with the character; for to superficial observers there is little difference between the dignity of a philoso phic mind, and the mere animal dignity resulting from a' noble person. The latter, Mr. Young gave with surprising effect, he looked the Roman ' every inch,' and fully justi fied the remark of his severest foe, that be " was the noblest Roman of them all." Mr. ade's Cassius was a highly creditable performance : " spleen," which linzlitt paradoxically calls " the soul of patriotism," is the soul of this testy anarchist, whose quick, waspish, irritable, sensi bility, was personated with strict adherence to na ture. Perhaps, in the famous quarrel scene, Mr. Ward. was too. lavish of external nervousness ; , he flew about the stage as if udder galvanii influence; whereas lie should hive remembered that Cassius was a Roman in the strictest sense of the word—a Roman in his jealous regard to personal appearance, and still more a Roman in the stoicism with which be strove, as ti point of conscience, to suppress all exterior emotion. Mr. Young used to show this contrast between a calm proud demeanour and a pas sionate sarcastic temperament, with very imposing success, especially when supported by Kemble, as Brutus, whose very look and movement were magnificent. The house, we are glad to perceive, was crowded in all parts—u fact which, if it be attributable to the reviving taste for the,le. gitimate drama, is highly creditable both to the public taste and to the caterer for its amusement.

Mr. Bullock then offered to match his mare for 100 sovereigns, ,to trot the match again in the course of a month. CHIC.'KRT.

WRESTLING. . - At an, early hour yesterday morning, the admirers of this ath letic exercise began to assemble at the Gardens of the Eagle Ta vern, City Itoad, to witness the play of the hardy sons of Cornwall and Devon. The wrestling was confined to the mechanics residing in London ; the great ones, such as Cann and Warren, being ex cluded. Middleton, the best Devonshire man in Loudon, was on the ground. Pardew and Glanville, the first and second Cor nish 'Dien, were also present, to contest the honour of the prize. Young Cann, cousin of the great -Mirabelli Cann, a little fellow about five feet, and of high reputation in his own country, was also present, to represent the prowess of his renowned relative. The -conditions of the Devonshire play were, that each man should throw two men, or throw one man and hold out against two others eight minutes each, to be entitled to double play. The DrOonshire men played in shoes, and had their legs strongly ban daged, to prevent the effects of kicking. At half-past eleven the play commenced. I. Frewina, a new man, and Pyle, both Devonshire, first entered the ring. The two men laid hold of each other's jackets,: and kept kicking each other's legs for a considerable time, when .Frewins cams down on his chest, but instantly sprang up, and was shortly after tripped up again and came down on one shoulder; .they then took hold again, and resumed their kicking system, and, after struggling for eight minutes, neither was thrown. • Frewins was much the strongest man, and was reputed to be a first-rate plater, but the result of this match did not confirm his reputation. Frewins, according to the rules of the Devonshire play, threw his hat 101 l the ring, and his challenge was accepted by Middleton. The men were nearly equal in point of weight; there was less kicking and more struggling flr the fall than in the last match, and both men came down repeatedly on their chest. A very revere struggle at length - ensued, and Frewins was thrown very heavily on his left shoulder, and Middleton upon him. "When Frewins got up, he staggered like a drunken man, and appeared very much hurt. After a short rest, they went to it again, hut at the expiration of eight minutes, Frewins was not thrown. 2. Cornwall.—Pardew and Chapman ; the latter was throivrt, when Brown entered to oppose Pardew, who being much the strongest man threw Brown several falls, but none. of them were fair back fags, and they were both timed out. This result made Pardew first double player •on the side of Cornwall, having thrown one man, and held out with another. 3. Devon.—Burnott, who before held out with Pyle, again entered the ring, and wad opposed by Conybeare, whom he soon threw, and was then oppesed in his career to double play by Thomas Cann, a cousin of the Devon Champion ; both were timed out without a fall. This added Burnett to the hat of double players on the Devon side. 4. Cornwall.---Stephens and French : Stephens was thriEWO. when Glanville entered to oppose French, and quickly threw him. Glanville is the person who got the third prize at the last wrestling, an excellent player, and iernarlable for having the two middle' Angers of each baud closely webbed tagethet. He was then opposed by lasses, who held out time with him. This made Granville second on the list of double players, having thrown French, and held out pith Isaacs ten minutes. 5. Devon.—Scott and Watery timed each other out. Waters retiring, made room for Howard, who also timed it out with Scott. T. Calm then entered again to oppose Howird, whom ho threw, as he also did Croote, the next man that entered, being the first who had thrown two men. This made T. Canu the third double player on the Devon side. 6. Cornwall.—Brown re-entered and threw Williams, which made him third double player on the C,ornisli side,tutving before held out with Pardew. The remainder of the evening was occupied in. , single play, which, although excellent, afforded nothing worth detailing, ex rcpt that of adding to the number Of double players for to 11101TOW, when the sport will be renewed at ten o'clinit for the last time this season, and the merits of the men be derided by the , prizes they will then be entitled to receive. The number of double players made up hut night wave five for Devon, and five fur Cornwall. FIELD SPORTS FOR OCTOBER. • (From the Anna, qf Sporting.) This is the month when every sportsman who is blesse4 with health and competence may find exercise for his skill, ;, a d em ployment for his activity; 'for almost all those field which constitute his delights are to be considered in season. Sep tember brought to him partridge.shooting, coursing, and the har riers; and now October grants the pursuit of that beautiful bird, the pheasant, and will soon summon to the'stilt more glorious chase of the fox. it has been, however, stated, and good authorities have warranted the practice, that this noblest of field sports might be followed even in September, but, in our opinion, the lat ter part of the present month is quite early enough fur the . in spiring diversion ; for, in the first place, no horses could, for any length of time, and with the scent breast high, as it probably would be, maintain themselves in such sultry and oppressive heat as we frequently meet with, and have, up almost to this period, met with in the month which has just closed upon us. Foxes, without doubt, may be found in abundance in some counties, and the scent would be well, but it may be taken as a good rule, that hound, and huntsman, and hunter will all go the better, and live out a long day stouter, a week or two hence, when cooler breezes blow, and " Gentle birds do perch aloof, And smooth their pinions on the roof," preparatory to bidding our chilly elimate fare Well, fur, to them, more genial atmospheres. Till Noeirnber, therefiwe, we shall cease to think very intensely of foxes and fox-hunting. Pheasants, from the extraordinary fine summer season, from which we are now departing, will be found of good size, and hence they will be fairly the objects of the (miler's occupation, though, in a general point of view, we are inelined to ape* with many, who have expressed their opinions upon the sub3ect, that the first of October is somewhat too early a day to commence this crusade of dog and gun against them. Of the breed, however, end the success of the shouter against these beautiful birds, we shall more appropriately dilate in our next. Partridges have been found in great number*, at least so in those parts which we visited in September, and we have been both north and west : but they were very wild, and very strong upon the wing; at the same time, the greater number of those bagged proved remarkably fine birds. We have, at this moment, (thanks to out correspondent " W. T.), two braces of as fine young birds arrived from the " Gloucester coach-office" as we ever saw, and he informs us that they may be taken as a sample of the general quality of the breed iu his part of the world. The same friend informs us that the harriers, and which he has been used to join, were out early in September, and had some very fair runs, generally ending in death. By this time hare -hunting will he coining general, as also will coursing, which, from 411 we I : gather, is likely t o b e f ollowed even more Ordentli' and to c omit WWI in the last eta e more i' th e sun o f pu b lic favour, than ~ we shall betson. Of th e great matches, at present on the - i prepared t o spea k , as also to furnish fa ll details the im portant meetings of the year. _ • • At the beginning generally , but often at the latter end of 'toter, aonie summer birds of pasisgat of which the 'wallow i s the first, take their departure tin Warner regions , though these birds h ave k en % , eu , in Milli weather , to congregate, p e ,, e i ta my to their emigration so late as December.
